A soft and moist cinnamon apple teacake made with tender spiced apples and a buttery crumb, finished with a glossy glaze — the perfect cozy cake to enjoy with tea or coffee.

Ingredients

600 g Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored (or any variety)

2 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

50 g unsalted butter, melted

2 tbsp white sugar

Dry Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable)

2 large eggs, room temperature

3/4 cup white sugar (caster or superfine)

2 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze (optional):

1 1/2 tbsp apricot jam (or other flavor)

1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20 cm (8-inch) springform pan with baking paper.
  2. Prepare apples: Chop half into 1.25 cm (1/2-inch) cubes and slice the rest thinly. Place in two bowls, drizzle each with half the melted butter, sprinkle with half the cinnamon and sugar, then toss to coat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until mixed. Fold in the chopped apples gently.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Arrange sliced apples on top in a circular, overlapping pattern.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If needed, cover with foil and bake 5–10 minutes longer.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then release the sides and transfer to a wire rack.
  8. For the glaze, heat apricot jam and water for 20 seconds in the microwave, stir smooth, and brush over the warm cake for a shiny finish.

Notes

Use any apple variety like Fuji, Gala, or Golden Delicious.

Add chopped nuts, raisins, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for variation.

Substitute pears for apples for a twist.

For a citrusy touch, add 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter.

Store at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Best served warm with cream or ice cream.
